Although Peter's program can in many ways be better
than mine, I don't see how it can be more accurate,
that is, as long as we regard, for example,
10-5-0 as equivalent to 8-3-4. As you see, I simply
divide the number of draws by 2 and add the result
to either side.
Would that be discutable, you think? If you do,
which of these two results would you prefer?
